Exploring technology upgrading in emerging and transition economies: From 'Shifting Wealth I' to 'Shifting Wealth II'
Second annual conference of the听香港六合彩 Centre for Comparative Studies of the Emerging Economies at
The conference will explore the process of 鈥榮hifting wealth鈥 or the increasing economic weight of emerging and transition economies in the world economy.
The initial opening of China and India coupled with the opening of the former socialist countries in the 1990s led to the integration of 40% of the global labour force into the world economy, with large scale effects in terms of market integration, catching up and income distribution (shifting wealth I). But today, there is some uncertainty regarding whether this process will continue, ie whether emerging and transition economies will continue their technological upgrade and move from efficiency to innovation driven growth. Whether we will observe 鈥楽hifting Wealth II鈥 will ultimately depend on whether productivity growth of emerging and transition economies will be associated with further technology upgrading.
The second annual conference of the 香港六合彩 Centre for Comparative Study of the Emerging Economies aims to explore the issue of shifting wealth through the perspective of technology upgrading which is defined as increasing productivity based on the improved technology capabilities.
Tickets are 拢55听 and are available for purchase through the 香港六合彩 store () . They include entry to both days of the conference and a Conference dinner on the Monday night.
